wolves 1zerai,.a oassue.

A few days ego, while hunting ante.
lope on the divide between Horse and
Adobe creeks, came in sight of band
OF wolves, thirty or more, which were
closely herding about two hundred
head of range cattle. My curiosity to
learn their object induced me to remain
o couple of days in seeing distance to
observe their actions. When my atten.
ton was frat drawn to the wolves they
were together in the rear of the cattle,
but very soon they separated aud sur.
rounded the gradually outspreading herd
and chased the animals together. They
would then await the motions OF On ap.
parent leader, who would run into the
bunch. cut out calf, when the rest
would rush to him, help him throw and
hastily tear out its entrails. Thus
mapged they would leave it, separate,
und iun swiftly to surround the now
fleeing cattle, again round them up,
single out another calf, throw and leave
1t in dying condition. If any of the
o'der animals hung back and showed
light they would be instantly hamstrung,
and iefs thus disabled. In no Instance
did the wolves som disposed 10 further
ma,ilste these older animals. This
maneuvering was repeated time and
again until the wolves mast have
san ,ted their thirst for blood. Then
these varmints seemed to be inspired
with the teachings of Ihs author, ''music
hath charms to soothe the savage
breast" for they would raise a hideous
howl, which effect on the cittle was not
satisfactory, for they would trail out
and try to get away, when they would
again be chased close together aud Held
to await further action. How large this
bunch was when the wolves first
gathered them together l have no
means of knowing. but am satisfied that
the wolves and cattle will be inseparable
until the calves are all killed. Then l
thiuk they will gather again another
bunch and kill all the young. Icounted
in two days eleven calve,, some yet
alive, with their entrails protruding from
their sides, besides seven large and older
ones with their hind legs rendered use.

The Gigantic Forests of Puge'

"Among tho myriads of natural Curl

visitor to the coast of the North Pacific
Ocean," said a gentleman recently re-

s'nothing impressed me SO deeply as
the gigantic forests of Puget Sound.
That arm of the Pacific is 200 miles in
length, with shore so irregular and in.
dented so plentifully with bays and deep
barhcrs that its measurement is 1900
miles in extent. Along this whole shore
line, and extending thence on both sides
miles and miles farther than the eye can
see, is one vast, unhroken area of forest
trees, the like of which I never saw. A
few sawmills have been erected along
the sound, and, although for several
years they have ripped 500, 600, 600 feet
of lumber from these forests annually,

tremendous inroads on the timber ap'
